Felted patchwork Katwise inspired recycled sweatercoats. Similar to other Katwise-inspired pixie/elf/faerie coats found on Etsy but painstakingly machine-needle-felted for increased durability and better fit. Most contain buttery-soft, luxurious recycled cashmere. Some are 100% cashmere. Mixed with fleece for visual flare.
This one is also loaded with sequins, painstakingly sewn on with invisible thread, one-by-one, by hand.
Before you get too excited, please check the measurements below. Here are the very rough measurements, and I take a lot of these to try to help.

This, so far, is one of the best coats I've made yet and is more durable and more well made than my earlier non-felted works. It also took a lot more time, which is why the price is higher. This was about a week's worth of work, not factoring in the cost of materials (which alone are ~$100.00). The cashmere, especially in the brighter colors, is just expensive. It is SO worth it though. High quality materials enable high quality finished works.😍
These are not cheap. It's a big decision. If you're not sure, email me and ask any question (other than price - I explain that in my WTFact section): persephone@persephonelove.com
If a coat is just over the top, I've got some lower-hanging fruit for you - check out my arm warmer, leg-warmer or hat listings as I often make these from material left over from the coats. You can put together a pair of arm-warmers, leg-warmers and a hat for a little less than a coat, but still have a SUPER cute ensemble! I don't always have a complete set, but it's worth a look. 😊
Shipping info in a nutshell: Weight on these coats is generally 4-5 pounds. They are sent in a vacuum-sealed bag inside a box and sent with insurance due to their value. I can't show you the shipping cost without knowing where you're at, so that's why you don't see shipping on the product page itself. Example cost : ~$20 for priority mail with insurance to send to... Portland, USA.
I DO offer local pickup for those in Colorado, just not automagically in checkout. It's done by appointment, and proof of vaccine is required. Shipping charge refunded upon pickup. More on that here, along with a funny video as a reward for reading my more long-winded info: https://www.persephonelove.com/policies/shipping-policy
